Description
Summary:The aim of this work was to determine the hygienic quality of drugs by means of the enumeration of mesophilic aerobes, total coliforms, molds and yeast, and to detect pathogen microorganisms in pharmaceutical products following techniques of the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA). These products come from Paraguay, Brazil and Uruguay and are purchased by poor people at street stands. Medicines from a manufacturing plant in Posadas- Misiones, delivered at the public hospital and health centers were also analysed. Pharmaceutical products from categories 1, 2 and 3 from ANMAT (National Administration of Medicines, Food and Technology) were also evaluated. The results obtained showed that such products did not exceed the microbiological standards established by the National Institute of Drugs (INAME) and by ANMAT. No pathogens microorganisms were detected in the analyzed products.
